I started getting into F1 a bit more in the past couple of years.

I remember thinking it might be a cool idea to try and go along to a race at Silverstone. Seemed like it would be a good day out.

Took one look at the prices and resigned myself to probably never going to an F1 race in my life, unless I suddenly come into vast amounts.of sustained wealth.

Oh really? I figured a wallet had to be one of the ones that folds?

I'm one of the younger millennials (I think?).

I never carry cash unless I have to (for some reason dependent on where I'm going). I primarily use my phone to make payments, and I don't have a traditional wallet, but I do have a slim card-holder that carries my debit card, driving licence and one or two other important cards.

Take that for what you will, I guess!

Yeah, I don't get it either.

There's plenty of stories to explore in the world of Arda. Why do studios keep coming back to Gollum? Where are these people who are crying out for more and more Gollum?

Do the Silmarillion you cowards.

This has been a thing for years. Binface got like, 10K votes when he ran for mayor of London once.

I think people have broadly become tired with the joke now, though. The state of politics has become too depressing to see the humour anymore.

All good options.

Never tried the American cheese one, but I'll have to give it a shot now!

Glamming up cheap ramen is a joy.

I like to add butter, a slug of soy sauce and chilli sauce, spring onion and sliced chillies.

It's not gonna win me any awards, but it's bloody tasty.

Ah really? I could put it on the hard drive, but the whole point of the SSD was for it to take the OS... Will have to think on that.

They generally don't do more than browse the web so I'm not anticipating any major issues. I used to game on it, but it's so old now I've stopped using it for games.

Maybe I'll put it on a usb for a while instead of dual booting.

I see Linux in my future, as I just don't have the cash for a new rig.

I have to be careful though, as it's my family PC, and the rest of my family aren't going to tolerate much of a learning curve. It really needs to just work out of the box.

Considering Zorin OS. Hopefully I can get it on my SSD next to Windows so I can dual-boot for a while to test the water...
